I’d Rather Have a Time Out for Behavior in Joshua Tree National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the south while taking in views across mountain desert landscape with Joshua Trees and other plant-life present in this part of Joshua Tree National Park. In composing this image, I took advantage of the grouping of Joshua Trees to my front and how it helped to fill the foreground leading up to the more distant snowcapped ridges and peaks of Quail Mountain. The rest was later making adjustments with control points in DxO PhotoLab 6 to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.

oh, to have been able to get a little closer.

it's quite funny for me since my favorite character in Band of Brothers is our aggressive, (allegedly?) war criminal with a reputation, big-balled Ronald Speirs while my fave in Masters of the Air is our heroic, soft and gentle, humble Rosie Rosenthal😭

Just learned that Major Mike Sadler died last week on the 4th at 103 years of age. He was the last surviving founding member of the SAS and the last survivor of the Long Range Desert Group. Rest In Peace, legendary sir.

Many of you may have been introduced to his story through Stephen Knight’s SAS: Rogue Heroes

There comes a point when you are doing too much research for fanfic, and that point is probably way before you’re looking up the interactions between the Cocos and Nazcas plates in order to decide where you would put a fictional island if you want it off the coast of Colombia.

daisy!!!!! friend, i think that with all the hard work and thought you've put into this rp, and the open and attentive way you've been with us for our questions and everything — you are allowed tarantulas. we're all playing pretend cats and i think we would all love tarantulas, even if it's not geographically correct 🤍

Aw, you are so sweet!! 💜🫂

An escaped one established a population and the cats could, for all intents and purposes, create proper warmth to keep them as pets if they so chose... And they hibernate during winter. Much to think about!

Which also this just reminded me, I have to add a section to character creation regarding pets! As I would like to allow people to submit characters with pets, especially considering that there is a whole role within Skyreach about partnering with a bird of prey!

Ascending Past Difficulties Around Me with a View to Brokeoff Mountain (Lassen Volcanic National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: At a roadside pullout location in Lassen Volcanic National Park with a view looking to the west while taking in the setting of ridges and peaks in this part of the national park. From this overlook, I had a more or less unobstructed view of Brokeoff Mountain. I decided to zoom in with a focal length so that I could have much of the mountainside fill the image, while centering the peak in the upper portion. The rest was later making adjustments with control points in DxO PhotoLab 8 to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.

Day 26 of @amphibianaday's Amphibuary! I decided to draw Moss and Bark from my day 6 drawing. Bark (the slug) the the honorary one, in case you couldn't tell

And my mom drew her favorite guy, the horny toad. She says they were all over the place when she was growing up, and she played with them all the time. She misses them terribly
